What happened to Bill Eberlein, Catherine Ebs’ father?
Bill Eberlein passed away suddenly while on vacation with his family in Denver, CO, on November 7, 2022. He was a humble and loyal man who cherished his family and was grateful for his strong, long-lasting friendships.
Sadly, Bill doesn’t support Catherine’s TikToker career. But she is his favorite daughter. Or at least that’s what the TikTok star says.
Catherine, however, misses her father dearly. In heartfelt IG posts, she says she misses the visits home, the daily FaceTime calls, the dates, and the comforting hugs. The void his passing leaves is huge, and she expresses her desire to have him back in her life.
In a post, Catherine shared how her father meant the world to her, noting that he meant more to her than he could ever know. She reflected on the beautiful moments they shared during a weekend in Colorado, feeling grateful for the peace they experienced together.
Catherine’s grief journey is raw and honest, as she shares the pain and struggle she faced in coming to terms with the reality of her father’s death. The void left by his absence was difficult to bear, but she found solace in the support of her friends and community.
“When I think about my dad, I almost feel crazy, like I’m trying so hard to remember every moment and every memory we had together,” she wrote in May 2023. “There are days when I feel like I’m making things up just to remember anything. I don’t know if anyone else has gone through this, but it’s a scary feeling. I want to push through the pain so badly, but I know this isn’t a healthy way to cope, it feels like my body is forcing me to forget the trauma.”
